The whole combat was beginning to concentrate about the furious struggle for the Peach Orchard and Little Round Top.
Hood, in all the height of the struggle, saw the value of Little Round Top and tried his utmost to seize it.

Again the Northern generals were to show that they had learned how to see what should be done and to do it at once.

Little Round Top rose up, dominant over the whole field, a prize of value beyond all computation.

Just then it was the most valuable hill in all the world.
A Northern general, Warren, the chief engineer of the army, had seen the value of Little Round Top as quickly as Hood.

The signalmen were about to leave, but he made them stay.
